- the Privacy Policy (as defined below) located at this link.
By accessing or using the Website or the Services, you (together with all persons accessing or using the Website or the Services, collectively, the “Users”) signify that you have read, understand and agree to be bound by this Agreement in all respects with respect to the Website, our provision of the Services, and your use of them.
BY USING THE WEBSITE OR THE SERVICES OR BY CLICKING TO ACCEPT THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND AND COMPLY WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET OUT OR INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE HEREIN. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOU MUST NOT ACCESS OR USE THE WEBSITE OR THE SERVICES.
- Technician Services
- Technician Services. We provide certain defined, fixed-price services (the “Technician Services”) that you may arrange to purchase by submitting a booking request through our Website (a “Booking Request”). The Technician Services will be performed by a technician in your area who has a separate independent contractor agreement with us (the “Technicians”). TechEasy may subcontract the performance of the Technician Services to any person.
- Booking Requests. Once we accept your Booking Request, we will confirm your appointment via email with information about the Technician, which may include the Technician’s name and scheduled date and estimated time of arrival. You will also be able to contact the Technician by telephone or text message for the sole purpose of communication related to the applicable Technician Service.
- Timing and the Technician. Our ability to accept your Booking Request will be affected by your location, the Technician Service requested, the availability of qualified Technicians and other conditions beyond our control. We do not guarantee that your Booking Request will be accepted within any particular timeline or at all.
- Deposit. In order to secure an appointment for in-person Technician Services, we kindly request our customers to pay a deposit (the “Deposit”) in accordance with our deposit and cancellation policy found here (the “Deposit and Cancellation Policy”). Once the appointment time has been confirmed via email, customers will be required to submit payment of the Deposit to secure their appointment. Upon completion of the Technician Service to the customer’s reasonable satisfaction, the remaining balance of the invoice cost, minus the Deposit, will be due for payment and charged to the credit card on file with us.
- Cancellations and Rescheduling. We recognize that schedules and our customers’ needs can change unexpectedly. While we strive to be accommodating, it is important to note that such flexibility can result in our Technicians missing out on valuable job opportunities. By securing your appointment by paying the Deposit, you will be responsible for paying all fees associated with the cancellation or rescheduling of your appointment, if applicable, in accordance with our Deposit and Cancellation Policy found here.
- Rates and Fees.
- Technician Services. We set the rates for Technician Services (the “Technician Service Rates”), which will be provided to you during the Booking Request process. The Technician Service Rates exclude any materials required by the Technician to complete the Technician Service, as well as any Products (as defined herein) purchased in connection with the Technician Services. You acknowledge and agree that the cost of materials and any Products purchased in connection with the Technician Services will be in addition to the applicable Technician Service Rate. We reserve the right to modify or update the Technician Service Rates at any time and in our sole discretion.
- Quoted Services. From time to time, we may agree to provide certain services based on individually quoted rates (a “Fee Quote”). Unless otherwise stated, a Fee Quote excludes applicable taxes and the cost of any materials required to complete the service. You acknowledge and agree that a Fee Quote is an estimate only and that the final cost of the applicable service may vary from the Fee Quote. If we agree to provide you services based on a Fee Quote, except with respect to pricing, which shall be governed by this Section, the provision of such services shall be governed by these Terms of Service, mutatis mutandis, as if such services were Technician Services.
- Payment and Billing. You are responsible for paying the invoice for each Technician Service (the “Invoice”), which will include the pricing terms of the Technician Service. By submitting a Booking Request, you agree that you will pay for all Technician Services requested (including all materials, taxes, late fees and travel expenses, as applicable) (the “Technician Service Payment”), unless otherwise provided in this Agreement. You understand and agree that we will be responsible, in our sole discretion, for determining the Technician Service Payment amount in accordance with these Terms of Service and any agreement you make directly with the Technician regarding payment will not apply. We will charge your credit card on file with us according to the agreed upon amount between you and us for the Technician Service and any Products or add-ons, if applicable, minus the Deposit for in-person Technician Services, and you hereby authorize us to charge your credit card in the amount due for the Technician Service Payment immediately upon the Technician completing the Technician Service. You also authorize us to pre-authorize a charge to your credit card based on your Booking Request. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, but are under no obligation to place a hold on any Technician Service Payment. If your payment does not go through, for any reason, you may be charged a cancellation fee in accordance with our Deposit and Cancellation Policy found here. You further agree that you are responsible for the timely payment of all Technician Service Payments and that any such Technician Service Payment made is non-refundable, unless otherwise determined in our sole discretion.
- Limited Warranty and Disclaimer.

TechEasy represents and warrants that it shall perform the Technician Services using personnel of commercially reasonable skill, experience, and qualifications and in a professional and workmanlike manner in accordance with generally recognized industry standards for similar services.

- Remedy. Subject to Section 1.8.2, TechEasy shall use commercially reasonable efforts to fix the problem in a manner determined by us, which may include using the same or another Technician to attend the premises and fix the problem, or otherwise, at TechEasy’s discretion, reimbursing you for the amount you have paid for the Technician Service in kind.

SOME JURISDICTIONS LIMIT OR DO NOT ALLOW THE DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED OR OTHER CONDITIONS AND WARRANTIES SO THE ABOVE DISCLAIMER MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. YOU AFFIRM THAT WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, FOR ANY BREACH OF WARRANTY OR CONDITION CLAIMS IN RELATION TO THE TECHNICIAN SERVICES.
- Technician Safety. No service or repairs will be provided if a Technician refuses to enter a residence due to the presence of animals, insects, unsanitary conditions or unsafe conditions, or is unable to provide service due to equipment that is not readily accessible. Circumstances where equipment is not readily accessible for a Technician includes, but is not limited to, instances where your equipment is located in a crawl space, attic or an area where a Technician cannot safely or easily access including obstructions by items permanently or temporarily placed on or around the equipment. In such instances, we will not provide service for that equipment and will deem that equipment ineligible for service.
In the event of such unsanitary or unsafe conditions or where we determine that your equipment is not readily accessible, as determined by us acting reasonably, we may immediately terminate the Technician Service and retain your Deposit in accordance with our Deposit and Cancellation Policy located here.
- Broken Items. TechEasy is not responsible for items that break during the performance of Technician Services that were already in disrepair or susceptible to breakage, including because of age or the lack of reasonable care and maintenance. Further, it is your responsibility to remove any fragile or valuable possessions from around the area or equipment to be serviced.
